His new album Compass was created with help from friends Beck, Fiest, and Grizzly Bear’s Chris Taylor is due out May 18th from Warp Records. The thing that impresses me the most about him is his range of styles that he is able to embrace and pull off. Even on the same album he is able to mix things up and create some innovative tracks. Because of that, I thought I would give you a double dose of his soulful tracks.
She Needs Me is a love song that brings the funk. The baseline reminds me of something you would hear on a Barry White album, but with Lidell’s smooth vocals, the horn section, and some piano to round it off and make it a complete tune. The baseline provides the groundwork for this song, but it’s Lidell’s vocals that shine through to make it an amazing track. Enjoy!

The Ring is more classic Lidell. Starting with a beat-box base, then Lidell’s vocals come in on top of it with a bass-heavy piano rounding out the tune. I love how soulful and funky this song feels. Give it a listen and you will be up on your feet feeling the groove in no time. Enjoy!

WHAT DO YOU GUYS THINK?
Jamie Lidell is a musical Jack-of-all-trades. He proved himself as a electronic producer/singer with Cristian Vogel as Super_Collider before going solo. He is well known for layering his own voice on tracks. Whether it is beat-boxing, singing lyrics or just singing a melody, he is a vocal one man band.

beautiful work! posters for posterity!2
I like it. And it grabbed your attention esp. if you posted a comment below. whether you love it or hate I don't see anything where it promotes violence or degrading women.. what i see is government taking away the rights of a citizen n the rights away from people. Failure to follow instructions will land us in prison like the model. Now if steven photographed the same concept with average shmucks would we pay much attention to it? i dont think so. it'd be just another political journalistic photograph.3
